What inducement the pamphlet asked, \"is there for a competent and j qualified teacher to undertake a i school in which there can be only | one or two pupils in each grade ¦\tabove the first?What opportunity has she of showing her capacity?What chance has she of advancement?None.It is simply a case of what the Rev.Dr.Rexford called, In the Educational Campaign \u201cplaying at school.\u201d Then again, 144 of these schools had unqualified teachers.The pamphlet further stated : \"It may be imagined by some that many of the small schools are out-of-the-way places, and that, therefore, the consolidation system could not be applied to them.But this is not so.They are to he found in some of our best Townships.In the following sets of figures the attendance at the schools of individual municipalities of the Eastern Townships is given.The municipalities are not indicated by name, but by number : \"Municipality No.1 had 13 schools, at which there were 14\u2014*5\u20149\u2014-11\u20149 \u20149\u201413\u20149\u20149\u20147\u201417\u20149\u201414 pupils in each respectively.Municipality No.2 had 14 schools, at which there were 19\u2014lb\u201412\u20148\u201411 \u20144\u201419-8\u20149-12\u201411\u20149\u20146\u201434 pupils in each respectively.\u201cMunicipality No.3 had 18 schools, at which there were 15\u201415\u20146\u20149\u201413 \u20146\u201417\u20146\u201415\u20149\u20148\u20148\u201412\u20147\u201421 \u201418 \u20148\u201410 pupils in each respectively.\"Municipality No.4 had 26 schools, at which there were \u20149\u20148\u20148\u201411\u20149\u2014 WORK OF SCHOOLS ii m PROVINCE interesting Statistics Presented in the Annual Report to Legislature SCHOOL BANKS ARE BEING PATRONIZED TO A LARGE EXTENT BY THE PUPILS.(Special to the Record.) Quebec, Dec.13.\u2014The annual report of the Superintendent of Education is naturally one of those looked for with interest, as touching upon one of the most vital points of our domestic economy.The Hon.Mr.de la Bruere states that the thirteen Normal Schools in the Province gave out 675 diplomas during the last scholastic year, of which 163 went to the Macdonald College for Protestant pupils.Excellent results are reported from the teaching of French in Protestant rural localities and, during the year, teachers in fourteen Academies had diplomas for French from McGill Summer School.As to the salary question, ever such a burning one, the report states that 3,138 teachers have received increases of salary, an average of Î25.At present 181 female teachers receive between $250 and $300 ; 547 from $200 to $250 ;\t2,385 from $150 to $200 ; and 1887 from $125 to $150.During the year 1912-13 the Department of Public Instruction approved plans for 269 new schools, their cost of construction being $849,593.In 1911-12 there were 184,946 Catholic boys and 185,283 girls, and 27,792 Protestant boys and 24,624 girls attending school in this province, making a total of 422,615 with the estimated population of 2,002,712.THOSE WHO HAVE GONE.Sympathetic reference is made to the death of the Bishop of Joliette, Mgr.Archambault, of the Catholic Committee, and also to the resignation of Dr.Robins, Dean of tile Protestant teachers.Mr.de la Bruere points out that it was in the year 1848 this gentleman commenced his career of teaching in a rural school, in \u201cUpper Canada.\" After many years of service he became at the request of the late Dr.Ryerson, one of the chief organizers of the new McGill Normal School in Montreal, founded in 1857.When this institution disappeared to be amalgamated with the Macdonald College, he resigned his position after fifty years of arduous work, but never ceased to be interested in educational' questions as an associate member of the Council.Mr.de la Bruere concludes by saying that, \"Dr.Robins deserves well of the Province.\u201d SCHOOLS OF DESIGN.The Schools of Design are favorably reported on and the Macdonald College commended for its special attention to this subject.The report notes that Miss Goodenough (an American) has been engaged for two years as director.AGRICULTURE IN SCHOOLS.The report, following those published by the Superintendent for years past, emphasizes the desirableness of teaching the pupils of rural schools the elements of agriculture.The steps taken by the School Corn- system of school gardens is referred to and the Jacques Cartier School at Montreal especially eulogized.During the past year 234 schools in 53 counties have cultivated little gardens and the pupils Interesting themselves in Horticulture number 17,000 at the last record.Manual Training is also reported on most favorably.SCHOOL BANKS.These admirable schools of thrift appear to be increasing in efficiency and importance.The number has mounted up to 85 and 13,674 children have deposited $45,657.00.LAND HUNGER.Although it is evident there is plenty of good land in this great Dominion, it is evident some people are looking to the fringes.According to an official statement made by Mr.Devlin, 57 families numbering 324 souls have settled in Abitibi in three years ending June 30th, 1913.One family of seven was from the United States, and 32 families, 305 souls, from New Ontario.Four families came from Newr Ontario, missioners in the village of St.Casimir, Portneuf, are commented upon.These gentlemen have grasped the necessities of the rural population and, last May, introduced in certain places practical instruction in Agriculture in their various jurisdictions.Practice has been carried beyond theory, and an agricultural library and museum for object lessons organized.The great value to school children of the ATTEMPT TO WRECK TRAIN Spike Was Removed From Roadbed Near Cleveland, Ohio LOCOMOTIVE FIREMAN KILLED.REWARD OF $1,000 OFFERED BY COMPANY.Cleveland, Ohio, Dec.13.\u2014 (Special) \u2014That the partial derailment of train No.16 on the Lake Shore & Michigan Southern Railroad, near Wickliffe, east of this city, shortly before last midnight, wae the result of a deliberate attempt at train wrecking, was the belief expressed by Lake Shore officials.They assert that the spikes had been removed from the rails.The road has offered a reward of $1,000 for the arrest of the person tampering with the roadbed.Attached to train No.16 was the private car of the newly elected president of the New York Central system, Alfred Smith.President-elect Smith was returning after a visit to his aged mother in this city to receive her congratulations on his promotion.The private car was not derailed.The fireman of the locomotive was killed.After the wreck.President-elect Smith himself helped to operate a handcar four miles up the road to a telegraph office to summon aid.THE WEATHER LOCAL FORECAST : Moderate winds;

(By L.D.McClintock, B.S.A.Cowansville.) | In many parts of the Province of Quebec there are very considerable ! tracks of land, which, while practically useless at present, might easily be made very valuable, were proper drainage resorted to.I moan particularly such land as is low and | flat and subject to frequent over-t flow from such small streams as flow through it.The present \u201cprocès verbal\u201d system entails a great deal of \u201cred tape,\u201d the putting into effect of which, in most cases, occasions an undue amount of wasteful expense, not to mention bad feelings among neighbors.This stated of affairs is so much in evi(l,ence that most farmers only resort to \u201cprocès verbal\u201d when they are absolutely driven to it.For example, drainage by \u201cprocès verbal\u201d involves all farms which contribute water to the streams flowing through the land to be drained, and the owners of such farms have to contribute, each his part, toward the keeping of the natural watercourse sufficiently deep and free from obstructions from year to year.The main objections to such a system may be grouped under two main heads:\u2014 The first is that people are compelled to contribute toward improvements of which they do not share the profits.And the second objection Is to the requirement, that all work done through \u201cprocès verbal\u201d must follow the natural water-:ourse in all of its windings.Now, almost all such streams wind so much that it is almost Impossible to keep them free from obstructions of one kind or another, not to mention the fact, that in the distance of one mile,the stream may travel several miles.Briefly, I should like to offer the following suggestions as a remedy for the present unsatisfactory conditions ; First that the Government appoint competent men to look over all such land as requires draining and report on its present value per acre and also what it would be worth when properly drained.Then I should suggest that the Government issue credits to the farmers whose land requires such drainage as might he needed, to the' extent of the total increase of value expected.This money would not be payable directly to the farmers having the land drained, but would be payable for the work as it was being done.Then each farmer whose land had been drained would pay back to the Government an annual tax representing the interest on the money thus invested by the Government, (say an interest of 2 or 3 p.c.), or the farmer could pay up at any time the amount that had been invested per acre on his land.I feel sure that if some such scheme were resorted to, great benefit would be derived from it.\u201cIf any considérante area were to be drained, the Government might appoint surveyors and send portable dredges to the parts requiring them and maintain a staff of competent men to carry out such projects.\u201cI sincerely invite criticism of the above mentioned scheme, whether favorable or otherwise.\u201d Saw Mill, Mining and Pulp Mill Machinery.Engines and Boilers, Bridges, Structural Steel and Plate Works of all Kinds.INJURED IiN HEAD.Massa wippi, Dec.13.\u2014(Special)\u2014 Mrs.John Mosher and son Homer started out Thursday afternoon for North Hatley, but in turning into the street from their house, rather quickly the sleigh was overturned and both thrown out and the pony ran away, but was caught a mile out.Mrs.Mosher was badly bruised about the head and shaken up, but is recovering.SHERBROOKE, Que.m Let Your Waggons be the Judge.RAILWAY ASBESTOS PACKING CO.Office, Bank Street.Phone 237 aasiwingHi^^ GOUDRON Milieu\u2019s Syrup ol Tar Dud Cod Liver Oil not only stops a cough but cures it.Its tonic and restorative properties enable the system to permanently throw off a cold.35c for large bottle.Sold everywhere.J.h- UATHIKU CO., Prop., SUHRBROOKK, nimr r nr.FOIE DEMORlfE Or.MATHIEU ¦mmmTm \u2022 tTmrnmt\ta KATïrœrs Syrup of Tar GOD LIVER OIL TALK OH TK CAKE OF H HOK Dr.Sinclair Addressed Good Meeting of Lennox\u201d ville Farmer\u2019sClub LAID SPECIAL EMPHASIS ON THE NEED OF CAREFUL SELECTION OF ANIMALS.A well attended meeting of the above club was held in the Town Hall on Thursday evening at 7.45.The first business was the election of officers.This resulted in the old board of directors being re-elected.President, J.Nichol; Yice-Pres., F.Mitchell; Sec.-Treas., A.A.Campbell.Dr.J.A.Sinclair, of Cannington, Ont., then gave a most interesting and instructive address on breeding, feeding and general management of heavy horses.He laid special emphasis on the need of careful selection of both dam and sire, and on the importance of size, conformation and good healthy condition in both animals.Great care should be taken of the man> while she is carrying the foal.She should have moderate and not violent exercise, and a liberal supply of the best of feed, as it must be remembered that two animals have now to be nourished.After foaling she should be kept quiet for a week or ten days, the same applying to the foal, which also should not be frightened or made nervous by strangers fussing round and looking at it.i Dr.Sinclair also laid great stress on the use and abuse of purgatives.The foal should not be given any purgative except as a last, resort, in I which case he particularly recommended the use of castor oil.He also gave some valuable advice regarding cleanliness, which was absolutely essential, a solution of corrosive sublimate being the best disinfectant to use in the proportion of crystals about the size of two marrow peas dissolved in eight ounces of water.This disinfectant is specially recommended.A discussion followed on various subjects, including the merits of the various heavy breeds, when it was seen that Clydesdales seemed to be favored by the majority of the members present.STANBBIDGE EAST.Mr.Percy Wright has been added to the staff of this branch of the Canadian Bank of Commerce.Two pleasant events recently given were birthday parties in honor of Mrs.H.W.Tucker and Miss Mattie Beatty, when quite a number of their friends gathered at their homes and wished them a happy birthday and remembered them with many fine gifts.The \u201c500\u201d Club met with Mrs.Douglas Moore on Thursday night last.Arrivals and departures: Miss Grace Cornell, who is attending Macdonald College, Is home to remain until after the holidays;
